We hardly notice electric light anymore — a flick of a switch and it’s there. In Lightbulb Moment, I took the tiny sounds a bulb makes and turned the ordinary into something curious. Read the short piece and listen for the unseen performance in everyday things:

And yeah — the J-card still carries that little contradiction I’m fond of: “// analogue only / no digital release” …while the inside quietly lists a digital appendix (bonus tracks + signal scrolls). A format arguing with itself. On brand.

Jean-Michel is on the 1st album MIRACLE (CD ALBUM) 1995 OMNISONUS/POLYGRAM 529 587-2

Very interesting music, an artist I discovered through Jagoda Olczyk’s article about rainbow avant-pop. I do have some stylistic objections to the piece itself, and honestly I think most of the music featured there is pretty weak (autotune is tragic, deal with it). But this album? Absolutely electrifying — like the old school style of musique concrète blended with something super fresh.

“Any,” a collaboration with painter and contemporary artist Mami Yamasaki, will be released on April 8. Please be sure to listen to the music alongside Ms. Yamasaki’s artwork. I hope you can sense that vague, melting quality.

I love this performance for some reason. I listen to it every halloween. It's weird and spooky, and I think you should listen to it tooooo. H.K. Gruber’s Frankenstein!! is part cabaret, part nightmare: toy instruments, paper bags, laughter, and fear stitched together into something gloriously weird.

Thanks to Jake Williams and all at Spectral Karaoke for having us as special guests.
